http://www.icn.ucl.ac.uk/motorcontrol/

Using robotic devices to investigate human motor behavior, this group develops computational models to understand the underlying control and learning processes. By simulating novel objects or dynamic environments they study how the brain recalibrates well-learned motor skills or acquires new ones. These insights are used to design fMRI studies to investigate how these processes map onto the brain. They have developed a number of novel techniques of how to study motor control in the MRI environment, and how to analyze MRI data of the human cerebellum. They also study patients with stroke or neurological disease to further determine how the brain manages to control the body.

The human brain has the remarkable ability to adapt in response to changes in the environment over the course of a lifetime. This is the mechanism for learning, growth, and normal development. Similar changes or adaptations can also occur in response to focal brain injuries, e.g., partially-adapted neighboring brain regions or functionally-related brain systems can either substitute for some of the lost function or develop alternative strategies to overcome a disability. Through ongoing research, the Music and Neuroimaging Laboratory''s mission is to: * Reveal the perceptual and cognitive aspects of music processing including the perception and memory for pitch, rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic stimuli. * Investigate the use of music and musical stimuli as an interventional tool for educational and therapeutic purposes. * Reveal the behavioral and neural correlates of learning, skill acquisition, and brain adaptation in response to changes in the environment or brain injury in the developing and adult brain. * Reveal the determinants and facilitators for recovery from brain injury. Project topics include: Aphasia Therapy, Singing and Speaking, Tone Deafness / Congenital Amusia, Motor Recovery Studies, Music and Emotions, Music and Autism, Children and Music Making, Brain Stimulation, Adult Musician Studies, Absolute Pitch Studies, Acute Stroke Studies

Collaborative neuro-oncology research program with a tissue repository (tumor bank) containing a wide range of clinical specimens, which they make available to researchers in order to study the effects of new drugs on a large number and wide range of tumor specimens. They provide highly coordinated, complex care in neurosurgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, and neurology to patients afflicted with tumors of the brain and spine by combining the newest technologies and treatments available anywhere in the world. The program is formed from a multidisciplinary group with a goal of helping patients navigate the complex issues surrounding brain and spinal cancer care. The researchers are working to increase the number of targets that could be considered for anti-angiogenesis therapy. Many of their studies focus on the blood vessel cells (endothelial cells) themselves, which, unlike tumor cells, rarely mutate and so might be less likely to become resistant to therapy and are also more easily reached through the bloodstream. Their researchers are also attempting to better understand the changes in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that are associated with fluid accumulation and brain swelling (edema) in neuro-oncology patients. Normal brain tissue is shielded from the rest of the body by the BBB. This barrier is composed of very tight blood vessels that prevent most substances from entering the brain. Brain tumors have a leaky BBB ����?? this feature can be used to identify tumors on MRI scans. They have identified specific molecules that appear to be associated with the leaky, abnormal vessels while the normal blood vessels with intact BBB produce these molecules at very low levels or not at all. Inhibiting the function of these molecules may help control or prevent disruption of the BBB and limit cerebral edema in brain tumor patients, as well as patients suffering from stroke or traumatic brain injury.

Neuroscience was implemented as a new interdisciplinary major in 1999, replacing the Psychobiology Program and providing a base of experiences in biology, chemistry and psychology. Our students benefit from being able to work in small classes and to experience investigative lab experiences even in their introductory courses. Wellesley's neuroscience majors graduate with a liberal arts background coupled with sufficient concentration in this specialized field to be competitive among students coming from exclusively research-oriented institutions. The best proofs of the success of this approach are its products: * 60% of our graduates proceed to medical school; * 15% of our graduates continue on with graduate work in neuroscience, psychology, or neuropsychology; * 10% of our graduates pursue careers that intersect with neuroscience - for example, patent law or work in the biotech industry. Neuroscience is the study of the structure and function of neurons and how they are assembled to produce behaviors. This topic uses a multidisciplinary approach that extends from the molecular, through the cellular, and to the behavioral level.
